In this episode of the Brussels Beat, Javier Espinoza speaks with Werner Stengg, a member of the European Union's tech Commissioner Henna Virkkunen’s cabinet, and his fifteen year old son Jakob, with whom he has co-authored a dystopian AI novel in which a computer has decided to get rid of mankind. They discuss whether Europe’s digital laws are capable of preventing such a scenario, and whether Europe strikes the right balance between innovation and regulation.

 

They also explore:


  • Whether today’s digital regulators are out of touch with the needs of future generations.


  • The merits of restricting minors’ access to digital platforms as younger generations grow up alongside digital technologies.


  • The current transatlantic disagreements over the enforcement of Europe’s digital rulebook against Big Tech companies.
